Isaiah Livers: With advice from my family, my circle and players that i look up to. On 10/18/24 i got a Hip Resurfacing surgery done by the great Dr.Suu out of NYC. Most, but maybe no one even me knew that I’ve been playing through this hip injury for the last 2 years. I am a big believer in dealing with the cards that are dealt in your hand, while taking control of the situation and making a change. Being able to start the rehab process, just yesterday, to get back to 100% is going to be a grind that I’m up for 24/7.

Forbes magazine cut ties with a contributing columnist and sports economics professor last week after a dispute over his piece about WNBA player salaries. David Berri, an economics professor at Southern Utah University who studies gender and sports business and has written three books on the subject, argued in an opinion piece that WNBA players should earn higher salaries to boost their star power. The NBA voiced concerns with the piece to Forbes editors, who took the league’s concerns to Berri. As the conflict between writer and outlet unfolded, Forbes took down the piece and dismissed Berri as a contributor. In emails Berri provided to The Washington Post, a Forbes editor said the article was “misleading,” “sloppy,” “polemic” and “just bad reporting.”
